New Delhi: The BCCI selection committee has announced the 15-man squad for upcoming 3-match T20 International series against Australia, with Dinesh Karthik, Shikhar Dhawan and Ashish Nehra making a comeback in the squad.

Dhawan was initially selected to be a part of the ODI series as well but he had asked the management to allow him to leave the squad to be with his wife who was unwell at that time. His return will surely boost Team India's chances in the shortest format of the game and also intensify competition for the opening spot.

Ashish Nehra and Dinesh Karthik, two T20 specialist players have been doing well in the domestic circuit and hence were awarded with call-ups for the national team. It although remains to be seen whether any of them replaces the any of the current mainstream players.
